Ten Pounds (G)
[T]
Smart performer. First run since leaving Harry Charlton when creditable length fourth of 13 to Pocklington in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (6f) 15 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Respected.

Wiltshire (G)
Had some smart form over C&D in 2024. Seen only twice since but not seen to best effect and shaped as if retaining ability when behind a few of today's rivals on C&D reappearance 15 days ago.

Pocklington (H)
FAV
[V]
Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Southwell (6f, 7/4) 15 days ago by neck from Eminency, driven out. Visor back on. Can give another good account off 3 lb higher.

Fivethousandtoone (G)
[P]
Three-time C&D winner. Off 3 months, shaped as if needing run when 4¼ lengths ninth of 13 to Pocklington in handicap at Southwell (6f) on reappearance 15 days ago.

Coul Angel (G)
Very good AW record, including a pair of 6f Kempton wins this autumn. Looked unlucky when 2½ lengths sixth of 13 to Pocklington at Southwell (6f) 15 days ago, hampered twice inside final 1f. Likely to have a big say with a clear passage.

| 9th | 7 | 3 |
Germanic (G)
Disappointed on turf last year but bounced back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D in November, beating the reopposing Heavenly Heather by 1½ lengths and taking his AW record to 2 wins and a second from 3 starts. A must f…

Sergeant Wilko (G)
[P]
C&D winner. 18/1, nineteenth of 25 in Ayr Silver Cup in September. Off since. Others arrive with more compelling claims.

Shane Gray | K A Ryan | 5 | 55.8 kg |

| 5th | 9 | 12 |
Heavenly Heather (M)
In very good form here this winter but a 5 lb penalty for her small-field win over 5f on Tuesday might leave her vulnerable for win purposes in this much deeper race.

Barry McHugh | Miss Tracy Waggott | 5 | 55.8 kg |

| 13th | 10 | 1 |
Eminency (G)
[HT]
Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford in December. 33/1, good neck second of 13 to Pocklington in handicap at Southwell (6f) 15 days ago, finishing well. Another who has to enter calculations,

The Caltonian (G)
[B]
Three-time C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (5) 38 days ago, merely closing up late. Others are preferred.

Photosynthesis (G)
Dual AW winner who recorded a career best to win 10-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) when last seen in September. Off since.

Five-time course scorer who won 7 times in a very productive 2025. Good third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 15 days ago. 1 lb out of the handicap here.
